Just because portions of the path are in 8.3 format does not mean that the path is invalid, because it is not. You can still use 8.3 paths in modern operations just fine. > what do i need to get this full path and get rid of the ugly "~1" ?? Why do you care whether you have a short path or a long path? Both work equally as well. If you must get the long name, then pass the short path to either GetLongPathName() or FindFirstFile(). Gambit
